  • Recent Occurrences of Unusually Plumaged Kingbirds (Tyrannus) in Florida: Hybrids Or Little-Noticed Natural Variants?
    Florida Field Naturalist 45(3):79-86, 2017. RECENT OCCURRENCES OF UNUSUALLY PLUMAGED KINGBIRDS (Tyrannus) IN FLORIDA: HYBRIDS OR LITTLE-NOTICED NATURAL VARIANTS? STU WILSON Sarasota, Florida Email: [email protected] INTRODUCTION In the spring of 2016, two observers at two widely separated locations studied and photographed what appeared to be Gray Kingbirds (T. dominicensis) that had a highly unusual extensive yellow wash on the underparts. On 5 April 2016, experienced Florida birder Carl Goodrich (pers. comm.) noted an odd-looking kingbird on a wire in the company of two Gray Kingbirds at Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park (“Fort Zach”) at Key West, Monroe County, Florida. In his first view, without a binocular, the bird struck him as a Western Kingbird (T. verticalis) because of the yellow on the underparts. Later the same day, when he was able to photograph the bird and study it in more detail with a binocular, he realized it was not a Western Kingbird. Goodrich has seen “thousands of Gray Kingbirds in the Keys over the last 40 years and none were as yellow as this one” (Fig. 1A). He believes he saw the same bird a week earlier in a gumbo limbo (Bursera simaruba) at the same location in the company of a dozen Gray Kingbirds, but was not able to photograph it on that occasion. On 15 May 2016, Michelle Wilson (pers. comm.) was birding on Lust Road at Lake Apopka North Shore Restoration Area (LANSRA), Orange County, Florida, part of the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive. There she photographed a kingbird (Fig.

The Brown Thrasher is in the family Mimidae, the Yellow-billed Cuckoo belongs to the family Cuculidae, the Eastern Towhee is in the family Emberizidae, and the White-eyed Vireo is in the family Vireonidae. All are small Blue-winged Warbler birds and can be distinguished by song, appearance, and habitat preference.

  • Gayler, Murph (2006) the Distribution, Foraging Areas and Behavior
    The Distribution, Foraging Areas and Behavior Of the Flycatcher Species at Springfield, Dominica Murph Gayler Dominica 2006 May 23rd- June 13th Gayler 1 ABSTRACT: This describes the natural history, habitat use and foraging techniques of the native flycatchers at the Springfield station on the island of Dominica. There are three species observed in this report and pictures and techniques on identifying them have been included in the paper. INTRODUCTION: Flycatchers are members of the family Tyrannidae; and are generally relatively plain looking birds. Some species have day-to-day contact with humans by nesting in buildings and other artificial structures. The birds of North, Central and South America are related to the Old World Flycatchers but are usually more robust and possess a much stronger beak than their European counterparts (Wikipedia). The flycatchers, by their name, are mostly insectivores, but their diet can also include fruit, lizards, snakes and, as I observed, an occasional crab. Flycatchers rarely spend much time on the ground foraging for food, but rather catch their food and return to a perch for safety and then gorge down their catch. The flycatchers can be found at all times during the day if you know where to look for them, but the best times are from 0500 to 0800 and 1630 to 1900. They are most active during this time of day because insects, the staple of their diet, are most active during this time as well. Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Aves Order: Passeriformes Family: Tyrannidae Gayler 2 STUDY AREA: The flycatchers were all seen on land owned by the Springfield Research Center located on the southwest side of the Commonwealth of Dominica, a small West Indian island in the Caribbean.

  • Avian Distribution Along a Gradient of Urbanization in Northeastern Puerto Rico
    Ecological Bulletins 54: 141–156, 2013 Avian distribution along a gradient of urbanization in northeastern Puerto Rico Edgar O. Vázquez Plass and Joseph M. Wunderle Jr We studied avian distribution along an urban to forest gradient in northeastern Puerto Rico to document how dif- ferent species, species groups, and diet guilds respond to urbanization. Mean avian abundance and species richness sampled at 181 point count sites increased with urbanization and was associated with measures of developed habitat, pasture and elevation. Endemic species were sensitive to urbanization as evidenced by their negative association with an urbanization index, positive association with forest cover, and their rarity in urban habitat in contrast to their abundance and species richness in forest. Exotic species showed the opposite pattern by a positive association with an urbanization index and highest abundance and species-richness in suburban/urban habitats and absence from forest. Resident (non-endemic) species were found throughout the gradient, although species differed in the locations of peak abundance along the gradient. Resident species also displayed a positive association with the urbanization index and their abundance and species richness increased with urbanization. The increased avian abundance and species richness with urbanization was attributed to exotic granivores and omnivores and resident insectivores, granivores and omnivores. We hypothesize that availability of nearby undeveloped habitats may be critical for maintaining avian abundance and species richness in Puerto Rico’s urban areas, but emphasize that research is needed to test this hypothesis.
